Coconut Fish Curry

If you like Fish, you should definitely try this Coconut Fish Curry. I am sure you will fall in love with this dish.

Coconut fish curry is mainly famous in southern part of India, Thailand, Indonesia, etc.

I don’t like the raw smell of fishes. In the northern part of India, fish is normally deep fried and then added in the curry. Instead of deep frying it, I shallow fried the fish, but if you want to deep fry it or use it raw, you can definitely do that (if adding raw fish, please allow extra time to cook in the curry). I like to make my cooking very simple by adding fewer ingredients, so this recipe is not the traditional way to make coconut fish curry.

I have used Tilapia fillet here, but you can use any fish (filleted or with bone). I feel that coconut milk by itself is very flavourful. It enhances the taste of any dish if added. You can even add coconut milk in any vegetable curry to make the curry thicker and flavourful.

Coconut fish curry can be severed for dinner or lunch. It goes well with rice, chapatis, parathas, or as a rich soup with some salad.
